Where the Company carries out a bonus issue of shares, or a share split or a reverse share split (a "Bonus Issue"), a corresponding recalculation shall be made of the Subscription Price and/or of the number of Shares that each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for. The recalculations, which shall be made by the Company, shall be made in the following manner.
(recalculated Subscription Price) = (previous Subscription Price) x (the number of Shares in the Company prior to the Bonus Issue) / (the number of Shares in the Company after the Bonus Issue)
(recalculated number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for) = (the previous number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for) x (the number of Shares in the Company after the Bonus Issue) / (the number of Shares in the Company prior to the Bonus Issue)
When recalculation shall be made as mentioned in the above table, the recalculated Subscription Price and the recalculated number of Shares that each Warrant confers the right to subscribe for shall be fixed by the Company two banking days at the latest after the Bonus Issue resolution.
If a Warrants Holder has not requested exercise of Warrants at such a time that the Shares the Warrant Holder would receive upon exercise of the relevant Warrants would carry an entitlement to participate in the Bonus Issue, the exercise of the relevant Warrants will not be effective until three banking days after the date the recalculations has been fixed.
| (b) | Issue of shares |
Where the Company carries out a new issue of shares ("Issue of Shares") in accordance with the principles of preferential rights with respect to shares in accordance with article 32-3 of the Companies' Law, an independent appraiser retained by the Company or the Company's auditor, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, shall decide on how the recalculation shall be made, whereby the recalculation shall aim at maintaining the value of the Warrants. A decision by the independent appraiser or the Company's auditor, as applicable, shall be binding for both the Company and the Warrant Holder. The cost for engaging the independent appraiser or auditor shall be borne by the Company.
4(12)
In case the Company carries out an Issue of Shares with preferential rights as set out in the first paragraph above, the Company shall be entitled to offer the Warrant Holders the same preferential rights as the shareholders of the Company under the authorized share capital of the Company. Each Warrant Holder shall be deemed to have the number of Shares that he/she would have had, had he/she exercised all his/her Warrants. No recalculation as set out in the first paragraph above shall be made in case the Company decides to give the Warrant Holders preferential rights in accordance with this paragraph.
If, at the time of the resolution to carry out an Issue of Shares with preferential right as described in the first paragraph above, the Shares are listed on a stock exchange or other recognised exchange for the public trading in shares, the following recalculation formula shall apply instead of what has been described in the previous paragraphs.
(recalculated Subscription Price) = (previous Subscription Price) x (the average market price of the Share during the subscription period fixed pursuant to the Issue of Shares resolution ("the average Share price")) / ((the average Share price) + (the theoretical value of the subscription right ("the value of the subscription right")))
(recalculated number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for) = (the previous number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for) x ((the average price of the Share) + (the value of the subscription right)) / (the average Share price))
The average Share price shall be deemed to equal the average of the mean of the highest and lowest prices paid for the Share each trading day during the subscription period fixed pursuant to the issue resolution according to the exchange list on which the Share is primarily quoted. In the absence of quoted price paid, the quoted bid price shall be included in the calculation instead. If neither paid price nor bid price is quoted on a given day, that day shall be excluded from the calculation.
The value of the subscription right shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula, provided that the value of the subscription right shall be deemed to be zero if the resulting value is negative:
(the value of the subscription right) = (the maximum number of new Shares that can be issued according to the Issue of Shares resolution) x ((the average Share price) – (the subscription price for each new Share)) / (the number of Shares in the Company prior to the new issue)
When recalculation shall be made as mentioned above, the recalculated Subscription Price and the recalculated number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for shall be fixed by the Company two banking days at the latest after the Issue of Shares resolution.
If a Warrants Holder has not requested exercise of Warrants at such a time that the Shares the Warrant Holder would receive upon exercise of the relevant Warrants would carry an entitlement to participate in the Issue of Shares, the exercise of the relevant Warrants will not be effective until three banking days after the date the recalculations has been fixed.
What has been stated in this section shall not apply in case the Company carries out Directed Share Issue. In such case, no recalculation shall be made with respect to the Subscription Price and/or of the number of Shares that each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for.

A decision by the independent appraiser or the Company's auditor, as applicable, shall be binding for both the Company and the Warrant Holder. The cost for engaging the independent appraiser or auditor shall be borne by the Company.
In case the Company carries out an Offer as set out in the first paragraph above, the Company shall be entitled to offer the Warrant Holders the same preferential rights as the shareholders of the Company. Each Warrant Holder shall be deemed to have the number of Shares that he/she would have had, had he/she exercised all his/her Warrants. No recalculation as set out in the first paragraph above shall be made in case the Company decides to give the Warrant Holders preferential rights in accordance with this paragraph.
If, at the time of the resolution to carry out an Offer with preferential right as described in the first paragraph above, the Shares are listed on a stock exchange or other recognised exchange for the public trading in shares, the following recalculation formula shall apply instead of what has been described in the previous paragraphs.
(recalculated Subscription Price) = (previous Subscription Price) x (the average market price of the Share during the acceptance period of the offer or, in case of distribution, during the period of 25 trading days starting on the day on which the Share is quoted without right to any part of the distribution ("the average Share price")) / ((the average Share price) + (the theoretical value of the right to participate in the offer ("the value of the Purchase Right")))
(recalculated number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for) = (the previous number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for) x ((the average Share price) + (the value of the Purchase Right)) / (the average Share price)
The average Share price shall be calculated with analogous application of the provisions of Section 9.b above.
If the shareholders receive Purchase Rights and these are subject to market quotation, the value of the Purchase Right shall be deemed to equal the average of the mean of the highest and lowest prices paid for the Purchase Right each trading day during the acceptance period of the Offer according to the exchange list on which the Purchase Right is primarily quoted. In the absence of quoted price paid, the quoted bid price shall be included in the calculation instead. If neither paid price nor bid price is quoted on a given day, that day shall be excluded from the calculation.
If the shareholders do not receive any Purchase Rights, or if the Purchase Rights are not subject to market quotation, but the securities or rights being the subject of the Offer
6(12)
either are already subject to market quotation or become subject to market quotation in connection with the Offer, the value of the Purchase Right shall be deemed to equal (i) if the securities or rights are already subject to market quotation, the average of the mean of the highest and lowest prices paid for such security or right each trading day during the acceptance period of the Offer or, in case of distribution, during the period of twenty-five (25) trading days starting on the day on which the share is quoted without right to any part of the distribution according to the exchange list on which the security or right is primarily quoted, less any consideration payable for them in connection with the Offer, or (ii) if the securities or rights become subject to market quotation in connection with the Offer, the average of the mean of the highest and lowest prices paid for such security or right each trading day during the period of twenty-five (25) trading days starting on the first day of such market quotation according to the exchange list on which the security or right is primarily quoted. In the absence of quoted price paid, the quoted bid price shall be included in the calculation instead. If neither paid price nor bid price is quoted on a given day, that day shall be excluded from the calculation. When the value of the Purchase Right shall be determined pursuant to (ii) of this paragraph, then in the recalculation of the Subscription Price and the number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for in accordance with the above formulas the average Share price shall relate to the 25-trading day period mentioned in (ii) of this paragraph instead of the period mentioned in the above formulas.
If the shareholders do not receive any Purchase Rights, or if the Purchase Rights are not subject to market quotation, and the securities or rights being the subject of the Offer neither already are subject to market quotation nor become subject to market quotation in connection with the Offer, the value of the Purchase Right shall to the extent possible be determined based upon the change in the market value of the Company's Shares which, according to an independent appraiser retained by the Company or the Company's auditor, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, may be deemed to have occurred as a consequence of the Offer. A decision by the independent appraiser or the Company's auditor, as applicable, shall be binding for both the Company and the Warrant Holder. The cost for engaging the independent appraiser or auditor shall be borne by the Company.
When recalculation shall be made as mentioned above, the recalculated Subscription Price and the recalculated number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for shall be fixed by the Company two banking days after the expiry of the period during which the average Share price shall be calculated for the above recalculations at the latest (the "Period").
If a Warrants Holder has not requested exercise of Warrants at such a time that the Shares the Warrant Holder would receive upon exercise of the relevant Warrants would carry an entitlement to participate in the Offer, the exercise of the relevant Warrants will not be effective until three banking days after date the recalculations has been fixed.
| (d) | Dividend |
If, at the time of the Board of Directors' announcement of its intention to submit a proposal to the general meeting regarding dividend (the "dividend"), the Shares are listed on a stock exchange or other recognised exchange for the public trading in shares, the following recalculation formula shall apply.
7(12)
(recalculated Subscription Price) = (previous Subscription Price) x (the average market price of the Share during the period of 25 trading days starting on the day on which the share is quoted without right to the dividend ("the average Share price")) / ((the average Share price) + (the dividend paid per Share))
(recalculated number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for) = (the previous number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for) x ((the average Share price) + (the dividend paid per Share)) / (the average Share price)
The average share price shall be calculated with analogous application of the provisions of Section 9.b above.
When recalculation shall be made as above-mentioned, the recalculated Subscription Price and the recalculated number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for shall be fixed by the Company two banking days after the expiry of the above-mentioned 25-trading day period at the latest.
In the event the Shares are not listed on a stock exchange or other recognised exchange for the public trading in shares, and a resolution is adopted regarding a dividend a corresponding recalculation shall take place. The Company's value shall in such case replace the average Share price in the above sections and formula. The value of the Company shall be determined by an independent appraiser appointed by the Company or the Company's auditor, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. A decision by the independent appraiser or the Company's auditor, as applicable, shall be binding for both the Company and the Warrant Holder. The cost for engaging the independent appraiser or auditor shall be borne by the Company.
If a Warrant Holder has not requested exercise of Warrants at such a time that the Shares the Warrant Holder would receive upon exercise of the relevant Warrants would carry an entitlement to dividend, the exercise of the relevant Warrants will not be effective until three (3) banking days after the date the recalculations has been fixed.
| (e) | Reduction of share capital |
What has been set out under the first paragraph of Section 9.b above shall apply mutatis mutandis in case the Company effects a compulsory reduction of its share capital with repayment to the Company's shareholders.
If, at the time of the resolution to carry out a compulsory reduction of the Company's share capital by way of repayment to the Company's shareholders, the Shares are listed on a stock exchange or other recognised exchange for the public trading in shares, the following recalculation formula shall apply instead of what has been described in the previous paragraphs.
(recalculated Subscription Price) = (previous Subscription Price) x (the average market price of the Share during the period of 25 trading days starting on the day on which the Share is quoted without right to repayment ("the average Share price")) / ((the average Share price) + (the actual amount repaid per Share))
(recalculated number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for) = (the previous number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for) x ((the average Share price) + (the actual amount repaid per Share)) / (the average Share price)
8(12)
If the reduction is carried out through redemption of Shares, then instead of using the actual amount repaid per Share in the above-mentioned recalculation of the Subscription Price and the number of Shares each Warrant confers right to subscribe for, a calculated amount repaid per Share determined as follows shall be applied:
(calculated amount repaid per Share) = ((the actual amount repaid per Share) – (the average market price of the Share during the period of 25 trading days immediately preceding the day on which the Share is quoted without right to participate in the reduction ("the average Share price"))) /((the number of Shares in the Company which entitle to the reduction of one Share) – 1)
The average Share price shall be calculated with analogous application of the provisions of Section 9.b above.
When recalculation shall be made as above-mentioned, the recalculated Subscription Price and the recalculated number of Shares that each Warrant confers right to subscribe for shall be fixed by the Company two banking days after the expiry of the latest 25-trading days period applicable for the above recalculations to occur at the latest (the "Period")
If a Warrants Holder has not requested exercise of Warrants at such a time that the Shares the Warrant Holder would receive upon exercise of the relevant Warrants would carry an entitlement to participate in the Offer, the exercise of the relevant Warrants will not be effective until five (5) banking days after the Period.
If the Company effects (i) a reduction of its share capital with repayment to the shareholders through redemption of Shares, and such reduction is not compulsory, or (ii) a repurchase of Shares in the Company (without effecting a reduction of its share capital), and where, in the opinion of the Company, such reduction or repurchase due to its technical structure and financial effects is equivalent to a compulsory reduction, the above provisions in this section shall apply and a recalculation of the Subscription Price and the number of Shares to which each Warrant confers right to subscribe for shall be made, to the extent possible, in accordance with the principles set forth in this section.
| (f) | Adjustment of recalculation |
If the Company carries out an action in accordance with (a) to (e) above and, in the Company's sole discretion, the above-mentioned procedures for recalculations would, due to its technical structure or otherwise, not be possible or if the compensation which the Warrant Holders would be entitled to would not be considered reasonable in comparison to the compensation received by the Company's shareholders, the Subscription Price and the number of Shares each Warrant entitles to shall be recalculated by the Company, an independent appraiser retained by the Company or the Company's auditor, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, whereby the recalculation shall aim at achieving a reasonable result in relation to the Company's shareholders.
